ESSRI, Energy for Sustainable Science at Research Infrastructures

by | Aug 30, 2024 | News

CIEMAT, in collaboration with CERN, ESRF, DESY, PSI, ESS and ERF, will organize the Seventh Workshop on Energy for Sustainable Science in Research Infrastructures in Madrid on September 25-27, 2024. This event follows the tradition of previous workshops organized by ESS (2011), CERN (2013), DESY (2015), ELI-NP (2017), PSI (2019) and ESRF (2022).
The objective of the workshop is to identify technical and strategic challenges to develop and implement sustainable solutions in research infrastructures. Topics such as energy management, exchange of experiences on energy efficient technologies, sustainability in current research projects and life cycle analysis of these infrastructures will be addressed. In addition, the participation of PhD students will be encouraged in order to involve young researchers in these key issues for the future of sustainable science.

IQF Blas Cabrera, CSIC Serrano, Madrid 23rd – 25th September 2024

Join us in Madrid for the second edition of the biennial LMI meeting, aiming to discuss recent progress and future perspectives on the captivating world of experimental and theoretical photophysics and photochemistry of low-dimensional structures. We are looking forward to bring together experts on light-matter interactions at the nanoscale investigated by scanning probe microscopies (SPM). This encompasses from the latest technical developments on advanced tip enhanced spectromicroscopies (TERS, Electro and Photoluminescence) to ultrafast (pulsed sources, THz-STM) phenomena in quantum dots or single molecules within plasmonic nanocavities. This convergence promises a stimulating environment for students, postdocs and world-renowned scientists to collectively explore the frontiers of the field!

IUVSTA-ZCAM METAL-OXIDE ULTRATHIN FILMS AND NANOSTRUCTURES: EXPERIMENT MEETS THEORY

 

DATE OF EVENT : 03/07/2023      DURATION : 5 day(s)

LOCATION: ZCAM Campus Actur C/ Mariano Esquillor s/n Edificio I+D 50018 Zaragoza

A new energy economy is needed which has to be more efficient, clean and sustainable. Functional oxide-based energy materials hold the greatest promise for both, energy storage and conversion. Metal oxides are stable and abundant materials to be used for energy applications. Metal-oxide ultrathin films and nanostructures are most versatile in terms of electronic structure, chemical, and physical properties but deriving structure-property-function relationships for these often structurally and chemically very dynamic materials is challenging. Nanostructured oxides offer a new paradigm for the development of catalytic, photochemical, electrochemical and electronic materials. This meeting will focus on four different areas where understanding, controlling and enhancing the functionalities of oxides for energy solutions play a crucial role, namely, oxides in catalytic and electrochemical energy science as well as in photochemical energy transformation and the design of nanostructured oxide-based materials. This needs in-depth scientific debate from leaders across the community.
